Numbers play a special role in the Bible. They often serve as a link and reminder of certain events or symbols. But they are not absolute statements in the sense of an oracle or a hidden prophecy.

The one (Hebrew: echad) is associated with the concept of the unity of God (Deuteronomy 6: 4). Man and woman are also to become “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). The unity of God stands against man’s distrust of God and his benevolence, a “no longer wanting to be one with God”. But we are to become one with God’s way of thinking (John 17:21). But always in the awareness of the differences. The absolute one is jachid. Each personality only exists once and is part of a larger unit in which we complement each other. Everything is designed to be complement.

Two is the number of the smallest possible community.”For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:20), says Jesus.It is also the minimum number of witnesses in a trial (Deuteronomy 17: 6).
